As part of the unique and historical experience of our camps, all campers are loaned a historically accurate costume that must be worn each day of camp. 

All pieces must be returned and in good condition on the last day of camp or you may be charged a damage fee.

Transfers will be permitted up to two weeks before the start of the camp, subject to availability.

We are unable to pro-rate the cost of camp if your child needs to miss any day(s).
